Abstract
HER2-positive breast cancer is highly aggressive, with a significant risk of recurrence and metastasis, leading to a poor prognosis. While most early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer patients benefit from combining trastuzumab monoclonal antibody with chemotherapy, the therapeutic response to various drug combinations varies across the HER2+ patient population. Therefore, predicting the prognosis and treatment response of HER2+ breast cancer patients to specific regimens is crucial for selecting appropriate precision individualized therapies. HER2DX is the first genomic tool designed to guide the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer patients. The three scores provided by HER2DX inform the entire treatment process, including predicting survival outcomes, recurrence, metastasis, and treatment responses like Pathological Complete Response Rate (pCR). It offers recommendations on follow-up intervals, treatment plans, and the duration of drug therapy. This review examines the literature and analyzes studies applying HER2DX to guide the comprehensive treatment and predict prognosis in HER2+ breast cancer patients, aiming to promote the widespread use of HER2DX in individualized treatment.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Cancer Research (AJCR) (ISSN 2156-6976), is an independent open access, online only journal to facilitate rapid dissemination of novel discoveries in basic science and treatment of cancer. It was founded by a group of scientists for cancer research and clinical academic oncologists from around the world, who are devoted to the promotion and advancement of our understanding of the cancer and its treatment. The scope of AJCR is intended to encompass that of multi-disciplinary researchers from any scientific discipline where the primary focus of the research is to increase and integrate knowledge about etiology and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis with the ultimate aim of advancing the cure and prevention of this increasingly devastating disease. To achieve these aims AJCR will publish review articles, original articles and new techniques in cancer research and therapy. It will also publish hypothesis, case reports and letter to the editor. Unlike most other open access online journals, AJCR will keep most of the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume, issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to retain our comfortable familiarity towards an academic journal.
